WSHS - Providing Healthcare and Relief!

A young man, 23, came to Water Street Health Services recently due to severe pain in his armpit. He came in because a “growth” was developing under his arm that was making it difficult for him to work. With little money and no insurance he didn’t know what to do until he heard about us. He was so grateful as the doctor lanced and drained the large cyst that had developed and gave him an antibiotic to cure the infection.

The pain relief was instant when the pressure was released. This released for him not only physical pain pressure but emotional pressure that was building over what he could do to get help and fear of losing his job due to either not being able to work or loss of work time.

We saw him after work hours, and he asked why we do this; provide free care? I was then able to tell him that we serve as the hands of Christ – who came to heal us all of our sicknesses, both physical and spiritual. We are sharing His good news of salvation and hope. After a brief chat where he listened intently – seeds were planted and with a big smile he thanked me so much for helping him and taking the time to talk with him.

This is an example of one of hundreds in Lebanon and thousands through Water Street Health Services Lancaster that we are providing God’s healing! What a privilege to be called to be part of His work!
